  • Publication number: 20240355045
    Abstract: An airborne LiDAR point cloud filtering method based on super-voxel ground saliency is provided. The method begins by denoising the input LiDAR point cloud, employing a boundary-preserving TBBP super-voxel algorithm for super-voxel segmentation. The super-voxels are categorized into scanning bands in N directions based on their centroid coordinates. Subsequently, each direction's scanning bands are sorted, segmented, and their saliency values are computed. Utilizing saliency values as coordinating factors, an energy function for the optimal filtering plane is constructed and minimized, leading to the determination of the optimal segmentation plane. Ground and non-ground points are classified based on the segmentation plane, thereby establishing the point cloud filtering results. The use of super-voxel-based saliency calculation in this invention enables preliminary vertical filtering of target point clouds, addressing the challenge of misclassifying point clouds with concave structures as ground points.

  • Patent number: 12120747
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may monitor multiple synchronization signal resources, each synchronization signal resource associated with a beam of a set of beams and may determine that multiple candidate beams of the set of beams satisfy a channel quality threshold. The UE may transmit an indication that the multiple candidate beams satisfy the channel quality threshold. For example, the UE may transmit a single random access message on a physical random access channel (PRACH) resource associated with multiple candidate beams, or may transmit multiple random access messages, each one on a different PRACH resource associated with a different candidate beam. The UE may receive an indication of one of the candidate beams from the base station and may establish a connection with the base station using the indicated candidate beam.
